Bring a glove and a wood bat if you have one
The league publishes its tryout in the detail somebody actually needs. When: 23 August. Registration opens at 8:15, tryouts start at 8:30. Where: San Dimas High School and Sports Complex, park behind the school on Cypress, with a map linked. Fee: ten dollars. What to bring: a glove, a wood bat if you have one, and catchers should bring their gear if they have it.
Every one of those clauses -- if you have one, if you have it -- is a league telling a rusty thirty-eight-year-old that turning up under-equipped is fine.
That is the best-written tryout notice in this directory, and the ten-dollar fee is low enough to be a commitment device rather than a barrier.
A High Cheese league page takes the tryout registration and the fee at the league's own address, and puts the men who attend straight into the pool the teams draft from.
